We had a bonus week of summer and we tried to get some last minute list items in there. Here is the original list that I wrote before I got pregnant and was sick 3/4 of the summer. I crossed 26 things off the list.

#31 go to the fair. #2 bring friends to the pool. #50 Hubby wants to master the grill. #30 go to the zoo. My favorite one here is Hubby on that grill. He is seriously a grilling master. It's like he is one with the grill. When he was cooking, we ate seriously well.

So 26 out of 50 isn't great but I have excuses for the rest.

EXCUSE #1: Anything cooking related or going to a place that was too hot or has a weird smell (#24 go to the library) was out of the question. Everything was making me barf this summer. So no smelling things or being hot.

EXCUSE #2: All the garden related list items I neglected were not completed because...

...these little caterpillars chomped my large tomato plants down. I was left with pretty much only cherry tomatoes. There goes making sauce and salsa.

EXCUSE #3: Home improvement projects that went undone like painting my bedroom, painting outside woodwork and getting a new patio door. Hubby was working all summer long crazy hours and I was either barfing or sleeping so no projects were done. BUT last week I got estimates for a new door and we picked which one we are getting, I just have to call and order it.

Sorry to all the people I wanted to have over for dinner. Cooking for my family was hard enough. We ate some pretty weird dinners that were pathetic. Luckily Hubby was spared when he was traveling.

I liked having the bucket list and making a goal for the summer. I would definitely do it again. 50 items is probably too unrealistic for me. Can't wait for next summer!! For now I am going to enjoy PB being in school 3 days a week :)

Hi, my name is Kris. Welcome to everywhere orange! I'm a high school art teacher taking a break to be at home with my 5 and 1 year old sons. I have always enjoyed crafting and cooking, but in the last 5 years at home I finally had the time to really explore new things in the kitchen and focus on my craftiness at home. The color orange and I go way back, long before I met my husband 16.5 years ago. I wanted a place I could share recipes and the crafty things I make and some orange. Thanks for stopping by!!
